    BACKGROUND: Tumour burden (TB) is implicated in resistance to programmed cell death-1/PD-L1 inhibitor (immune checkpoint inhibitor [ICI]) therapy. However, whether TB contributes to such resistance in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has remained unknown. METHODS: A total of 260 treatment-naïve patients with advanced NSCLC who started ICI monotherapy (ICI cohort), platinum-doublet therapy (Chemo cohort) or ICI and platinum-doublet therapy (ICI+Chemo cohort) as first-line treatment were consecutively included. TB was estimated on the basis of the sum of the diameters of measurable target lesions as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours. Progression-free survival (PFS) in the ICI cohort was evaluated as per TB as a preplanned primary objective, with the analysis based on propensity score-weighted survival curves and estimation of restricted mean survival time (RMST). The Chemo cohort served as a control to determine whether TB is predictive of ICI treatment outcomes. The ICI+Chemo cohort was exploratory. The relation of TB to tumour immune status was assessed by immune-related gene expression profiling (irGEP) of pretreatment tumour tissue. RESULTS: In the ICI cohort, patients with a low TB showed a significantly longer PFS than did those with a high TB (median, 17.9 vs 4.3 months; weighted hazard ratio, 0.32 [95% confidence interval, 0.19-0.53]). No such difference was apparent in the other cohorts. A significant difference in overall survival was also observed only in the ICI cohort. RMST-based analysis confirmed these results. The irGEP analysis implicated M2-type macrophages, angiogenesis and transforming growth factor-β as well as protumourigenic signalling pathways in ICI resistance conferred by a high TB. CONCLUSION: A high TB was associated with a poor outcome of ICI therapy for advanced NSCLC as a result of immunosuppressive phenotypes. Development of combination or novel treatment strategies for such disease is thus warranted.

    d-19575 (glufosfamide: beta-d-glucosylisophosphoramide mustard) is an alkylating agent in which isophosphoramide mustard, the cytotoxic metabolite of ifosfamide, is covalently linked to beta-d-glucose. We have performed a phase I study to determine the safety profile, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor activity of d-19575 in Japanese patients with advanced solid tumors Patients were treated with escalating doses of d-19575 administered by a two-step (fast-slow) intravenous infusion over 6 h every 3 weeks. Thirteen patients received 43 treatment cycles (median 3; range 1-11) at d-19575 doses of 3,200, 4,500, or 6,000 mg/m(2). Hematologic toxicities and other side effects were generally mild. The maximum tolerated dose of d-19575 was 6,000 mg/m(2), at which two patients experienced dose-limiting toxicities (hypophosphatemia, hypokalemia, and metabolic acidosis each of grade 3). Pharmacokinetic analysis revealed a linear relation between the area under the concentration-versus-time curve (AUC) and dose. The AUC values for isophosphoramide mustard were substantially greater than those achieved by bolus administration or continuous infusion of ifosfamide in conventional therapy. One patient with gallbladder cancer previously treated with cisplatin and gemcitabine achieved a partial response lasting for > 5 months, and eight patients achieved disease stabilization. Our results show that d-19575 can be safely administered by infusion over 6 h at 4,500 mg/m(2) every 3 weeks. The safety profile and potential antitumor activity of d-19575 show that phase II studies of this drug are warranted.
